The fourth of July this year in
Lamar will be far different from
what it was last year. Not that we
intend to have n celebration, hut the
surroundings make 1t hard 10 realize
just how Lamar was only year ago
Then there was but few people and
fewer houses i'll town The fourth
was on Sunday. In the morning
there was Sunday school in the room
now occupied by Igo & Munger and
was attended by seven chIldien, two
or three ladies and n half dozen gen
tlemen. During the Sunday school
hour cowboy sat en- his horse on
the side walk across the street firing
national salute with six shooter,
and did the cheering himself, with
the exception of a littlo help occa-
sionally that was rendered him by
other cowboys down the street. The
shooting and yelling was nothing
unusual, SO did not particularly in
dicate that it was the day we cele-
brate, and from general appearances
we would not have known it was
Sunday except that our printer was
drunk, q custom he had on that day
of the week. Monday only twelve
months later Lamar is little city,
orderly in every respect, our church
es and Sunday achools well attended
and never annoyed by yelling or
shooting on the streets, prosperity TO
be seen on every hand. The change
has been a great one, and as we said
before, hard to realize.

Water Works Talk.

1t is estimated by Aber Il Hill, the
engineers who made the survey, that
the excavating of the ditch from the
city limits to Elm Creek would
cost 5000, and that the dam
over the creek will cost 81 800. a wa
ter-pipe firm offers to put in inch
wooden pipe, bandaged with iron, for
$1,000 per mile, including the necessary
hydrants, exclusive of digging and fl
ling the the ditch. About II miles of
piping would be necessary to carry the
water from the end of the ditch and
through Main street to the south end
of town. The main could then be tap
ped at convenient distances and the
water carried into stores and residen-
ces. The city has voted $4,000 in
bonds that can be disposed of at a
slight premium, it is believed. Now
the question is, does the city want the
water works? The council, while hav-
ing the greatest confidence in the en-
glneering ability of Messrs. Aber &
Hill, have written for a practical wa
terworks man to come and look over
the ground and say if the work can be
done for the amount stated and also to
say If this waterworks scheme would
be practical. 1t now appears that the
work of digging the ditch may be de-
layed until next spring.
